The International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, in conjunction with LUX (London) and The Robert Flaherty Film Seminar (New York), presents the third Oberhausen Seminar, which will be held during the 62nd International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (5 to 10 May, 2016). The Oberhausen Seminar is designed for international practitioners who work with moving images.
The Oberhausen Seminar is an experimental convening designed to explore contemporary artists' moving image practice in the context of a renowned international film festival. International practitioners from various fields – artists and filmmakers, curators and researchers who work with the moving image – will use the Oberhausen Festival as a laboratory to discuss what the animating forces of artists' cinema are today and curatorial practices that move across spaces, economics and forms.
The seminar is built on the premise that knowledge produced from this seminar will come primarily from within. Participants will drive the conversation and focus. While many guests will offer their experiences and ideas, the sense-making will be generated by the group together. It is the combustion of the many interests and questions of the cohort which will guide the Seminar's outcomes.
The Oberhausen Seminar will be facilitated by Erika Balsom, lecturer in Film Studies and Liberal Arts at King’s College London.
